Summary:
The Whitney Independent School District (Isd) in Texas has only one high school, Whitney High School, which serves students in grades 9-12. While the school has seen a decline in its statewide ranking and SchoolDigger rating over the past few years, it maintains a relatively high four-year graduation rate of 94.8%. However, its academic performance on STAAR EOC tests is mixed, with some subject areas, like Algebra I and English II Reading, performing below the state average.
Whitney High School's student population is predominantly White (67.12%), with a significant percentage of Hispanic (23.58%) and African American (5.9%) students. The school also has a high percentage of students (59.64%) eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a population with lower socioeconomic status. Despite these challenges, the school has a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 11.9 and a per-student spending of $12,739, suggesting that it has access to adequate resources.
Overall, while Whitney High School has seen a decline in its performance metrics, it maintains a strong graduation rate and shows strengths in certain subject areas. However, the school may need to focus on improving its academic performance, particularly in areas where it is underperforming compared to the state average, and addressing the needs of its socioeconomically diverse student population to ensure the continued success of its students.
